To discuss what makes me nervous? it is very important to know what it is.
Nervousness is an early modern concept, although it has correlatives from the time of the Greeks in allied concepts of debility, appetitive, and saturnine behaviour. Up to the late eighteenth century the word was imbued with mechanical meaning as the physical condition derived from its anatomical nerves. It gathered terrific significance in the mid of seventeenth century under the weight of Descartes’ physiological revolution and, even more emphatically, in Thomas Willis’ system of neuroanatomy. Willis, an Oxford physiologist and practising physician who possessed profound clinical and empirical skills, wrote treatises on the nerves and brains of living creatures. He maintained that the body’s degree of nervousness influenced human health more than had been appreciated and therefore merited so much clinical attention as the blood, lymph, or individual organs. Time has proved Willis right. Even in his own era his authority carried much weight, especially among disciples including Sydenham, Locke, and other early members of the Royal Society, and subsequent generations were impressed by his neurological theories, believing that more research was necessary. The result was the notion that living creatures could be measured according to the degree to which they partook of ‘nervousness’.
Nervousness, as a social phenomenon rather than a physical state, underwent rapid proliferation in the mid eighteenth century: among individuals, in towns and cities under urban sprawl, and even among the branches of government; the earliest social scientists were thus enabled to configure the first models of nervous societies along lines of the old body politic and mind-body dualism.
